Rearend or brakes
Well Mr_VIP is it still locked up when you shift the tranny in newtral ?
Is the front wheels locked up as well ? Try jacking up the rearend then shift the tranny to newtral then try to turn the rear wheels by hand , even if it's still lockedup you should be able to turn the rear wheels a little bit back and forth if it's the rearend ; if it's the brakes that are stuck you wouldn't be able to get them to turn at all !
If the brakes are sticking they're most likely frozen ( wheel cylinders most likely ) , if this is the case you'll need to remove the wheel cylinders to get the brake drums off and go from there ; i had this same problem on my 86' Honda TRX350FM 4x4 in my case i had to replace the wheel cylinders that were corroded so bad i had to replace them !
Hopefully in your case they may only be frozen from the cold weather , i hope this is of help to you ; and welcome to the forums !..........

Thanks for the advice. I believe its going to be my rearend because its already jacked up with the back tires off the ground and they will only turn a little bit back and forth. Looks like I will have to start searching for someone to rebuild it.
